Hi, I'm looking for a silver ladies watch for my wife christmas present.
She mentioned that she liked this as shown on a leaflet that came with a magazine.

I had a look at some of these white ceramic watches and they seem like something that Katie Price would wear.

I mentioned to my wife that the inlay was ceramic and fortunately she said that she wasn't keen, thank god.

Anyway, can anyone please advise on something similar, silver in colour. Simple face, I did see a nice CW but I think that the chronograph is a bit fussy for her taste.

Any ideas,? I checked with my wife and the chrono is a bit fussy for her.

Are there any other watches that she has mentioned that she likes, or particular styles? I have no idea where to begin ... How about these?

Thanks Ikemi,
I really like this one that you linked to.



I have also found this, which seems to cheap to be true.



£480 for a Longines Conquest?

That sounds about right! The Ladies Sport Conquest incorporates a battery operated quartz movement, whereas the Gents variant (on the same website), which is £280 more, has a more expensive automatic movement smile

ETA: RRP is £480 ... So haggle discount and save!

Is it still a good watch? My wife is not the type to manage automatic movement or think it is a plus point.
But I have been lucky with IT contracting and have spent stupid money on my toys so I would like to get her something that is a bit special. I wouldn't tell her the cost as she would be peed of, but Rolex's are out of my limit this year, although I do plan on getting one for myself next year.

Edited to add:

Sorry if I am questioning a good make. My knowledge of watches is slim, I only have a Seiko, G-shock and Christoper Ward so far.

After a lot of searching and finally help from Goldsmiths I have managed to get hold of this. Not many around it seems if it's in white.



I hope my wife likes it smile
